Dear MarkSensless
I know I am wasting my breath but I believe my mocking posts mentioned: BEFORE the invention of the "wheel"! This was what you implied in one of your many diatribes.
"WHEEL" AS IN WHEELED TRANSPORT . . . So, no carts or carriages.
Possibly a few on foot were killed or injured over the years prior to the invention of the wheel. Outside of warfare that is.
I saw an estimate a few years ago that said by the turn of the Century ie: 2000AD 50 million people would have been killed in what could be termed road traffic accidents.
Galloping horses would have to have been pretty active over the millennia to achieve even a fraction of that number . . .

"You, the Post, the early morning dragnetters, and their other supporters, claim as their justification:
"If It Saves Just One Life!""
Oh look, you said it again, Mr Mann. Remarkable if so tangential and irrelevant to your argument that you would spam the same thing on so many threads.
Even more remarkable given that no-one here has based any argument by stating "If It Saves One Life."
It's almost as if you just made it up to shoot it down. What was that called again? Oh yes, a straw man argument. Your forte, it would seem.

By the way, starving, if you had any real interest in road safety you would already be familiar with things like:

If you do follow the links, and even read them, what's the betting you completely misread the dates and even fail to see the actual references to the vehicles.
There are none so blind as those who will not see!

By the way, this is what your demonisation of drink, and "drunk" drivers, leads to:

Whereas the real effect of your policies is the police "protecting" the public like that!
Read it and weep!
